Amanda's Birthday is Today!

Hello blog friends, Brian here – long time no see!

Today is a special day. It is Amanda’s birthday! Well it’s
also Allison’s birthday, but since I’m not married to her and this isn’t her
blog, I’m not planning on featuring her. BUT I will say she is a wonderful
sister in law and I am thankful for her, so happy birthday Allison!

The real reason I’m here is to let you know that Amanda is
wonderful and should be recognized for that on her birthday. Not convinced? Let
me tell you why she is so great. She is…

Attractive – well
maybe you don’t care about this as much as I do, but I think she is a beautiful
woman. I remember thinking so the first time I met her. She isn’t just easy on
the eyes either – no, she is the total package. Smart, funny, motivated… wait I
should be careful not to use up all my well-thought-out adjectives here. Let’s
continue.

Motivating – if you
have spent time around Amanda, then you know she can bring out the best in
others. Watching her on a day to day basis makes me want to be a better
husband, father, and man. She is also good at giving reasons why I and the twins should be
motivated for doing things – always in a nice manner of course.

Athletic – Did
you know she was the captain of her soccer team in high school? And that she
won an intramural championship in college? AND that she wakes up at the crack
of dawn to work out EVERY DAY before anyone else wakes up? She is athletic, in
shape, and I am proud of her for that!

Nurturing – she is
a wonderful mother that lives to take care of her children. She is always there
to scoop up Colby & Clara if they scrape their knee, and will doctor them
up with the perfect band aid, ice pack, kisses, and treats to help them feel better.
She is also helping them grow as little people nurturing their curiosity and teaching them.

Dedicated – Amanda can and will do whatever she puts her mind to. If she decides something
needs to be done or wants to do something, she will move mountains to achieve
her goal. She is the embodiment of diligence and accomplishment. She is dedicated
to her family. I would list all the things she does on a day to day basis, but
suffice it to say that without her a lot wouldn’t get done, we wouldn’t do as
many fun things, and life would be way more chaotic if she wasn’t who she is.

Admire – I look
to my wife as an inspiration. I alluded to this earlier, but she is an example
of how I can be better. She is a good friend that remembers EVERYONE’S
birthday. She is conscientious and always putting the needs of her family
before her own. She is tenacious and hard working. She is dedicated to her
friends and family. She is the most amazing wife I could hope for, and I am
thankful.

SO I think you can see she is pretty great. You know what
else would be pretty great? If you let her know you are thinking about her
TODAY because it is her birthday. See you later blog friends – maybe I won’t
wait so long to pop in again!

1. Thanks for the shout-out!2. This post makes me a little barfy but I still applaud you for writing it and agree with all your points about her wonderfulness! (Especially the part about always motivating quietly ;)3. HBD to my favorite twin sis!

You summed her up quite nicely. I am always in awe of how she juggles life and with such ease (at least from my point of view). Amanda is pretty great and I can't wait to celebrate her (And Allison) later!
